Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal malignancies, with a 5-year overall survival (OS) of less than 10% for all stages. The present study aims to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, as well as the results of different treatments of patients diagnosed and treated between 2019 and 2021 in the Oncology Center of Tangier, University Hospital, Morocco. Methods To compare the evolution of the pancreatic cancer between the different chemotherapy regimens, a retrospective study was performed using data collected over a period of 3 years. For each patient, the data were described and statistically analyzed in the dedicated operating sheet. Results 55 pancreatic cancer patients were included in this study, and the median follow up was 3 months. The mean age of patients was 59.5 ± 10.3 years (extremes 34–79) and the sex ratio male/female was 0.9. Most patients were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (92.3%), but metastatic stage was the most frequent (56.4%). The surgery was applied to 16.36% of patients. 10.9% of patients have received adjuvant chemotherapy and 76.4% received palliative chemotherapy. Chemotherapy regimens included mainly Gemcitabine and Folfirinox. The median OS was significantly longer for patients treated with Folfirinox versus Gemcitabine (6 months versus 3 months, p-value |
